ST. LOUIS elected school board
pledged to abolish the teaching of Ger
man and other foreign languages In the
public school Correct. The time will
come when Americas national schools
will be conducted everywhere on a
purely American basis. The language
usually called English Ia the language of
this country and none other should be
taught In the elementary schools Of the
country. American ideas will multiply
more rapidly when the American Ian
guage becomes the only one taught in
the common state schools.

SAVED MY MOTHERS LIFE.

Ever since ! can remember. my mother has
suffered from milk leg. Nothing would do
her any good. She had the best medical tai
ent, but they all did her no good. She suffered
with hei leg for thirty years and never knew IA
well day. She would have to set up half the
night, holding up her leg and moaning. She
had no peace. She used all the best known
remedies in the country witrOut effect.
asked her to try your CCTICURA REMEDIES
Got her a bottle of CUTCURA RESOLvENT, and
she took ii. and has taken IN all about six or
seven bottles, and now she is well woman
to-day. Her leg is entirely healed, and her
health was never better. She can go out every
day, something she has not done i'm ten years.

The question Of how far 1t is inconsist-
ent for Methodist minister to Say a
good word for legitimate drama and
such opera as the Abbott troupe render
s.soon to be determined. Rev. Gambler,
whom Emma Abbott answered In Nash
vile some weeks since for his bitter at
tack upon her opera troupe, has himself
been taken to task by Rev. DR.. Kelley,
treasurer Of the board OF missions for the
Southern Methodist church. DR.. Kelley
has in turn been reprimanded by the
Arkansas and North Alabama
conferences, and by the Ten
nessee conference, indirectly, which
strongly oOmmends the utteran-
Ces Of Rev. Gambler. Out OF 1t all has
grown a call for meeting of the board
Of missions to take action in the matter
and the demand for Rev. DR.. Kelley's
resignation will very probably follow.
DR.. Kelley's position is certainly unten-
able from the standpoint OF the church,
and this mixing of piety and popular
pleasures is decidedly at variance with
Methodist teachings as formulated in
her books of discipline. Hew to the
line, let the chips fall where they will
So long as the church denOunces music
and the drama it Is not in order for her
ministers to uphold them. Let consis-
tency rule.
How long, oh, lOngsufFering and lam
gushing commerce., how long be-
fore so-caled American statesmen of
the democratic persuasion will awake to |
the Importance and value OF South |
American trade to this country. The |
republicans OF South America should be |
married to our own republic in bonds of
commercial unity from which a mutual
benefit would be derived. Instead of
this, these republics enter the foreign
markets of the old world as our princi-
pal competitors in beef and wheat sup
ply. and draw from those old
world shores fully ten times
as much In the way OF
manufactured products as is sup
plltu
reason but the reason of unreason in this
blindness to our interests. No more pro-
fitable trading ports could be opened for
American goods than those which are
ready to open their immense ware
houses to our commerce in the Argen-
tine Republic and In Brazil. The capital
in that country is immense. One bank
in Buenos Ayres has paid up capital of
over $50 0O0,0O and there Is no dearth
of means among the people. A market
could be opened there for the sale of the
best products of American skilled labor
which would be q source of great profit
to our Industries. 1t may come with
republican administration of the govern
ment.

The conversion Of the democracy to
republican principles of government
policy goes slowly On. The more ad-
vanced thinkers and writers of that
party are decidedly protective in their
tariff ideas, and will no doubt come in
time to hold good practical American
views on this subject. By that time,
however, the republican party will be
about four years 10 advance, pioneering
the way for other measures of public
policy which the ever developing
growth of this country will bring to the
notice of the statesman of that
party. This is as it ever has
been. The democratic party has moth
ing original about it but it's original sin,
and camps ever along the trail Of repub-
llcan movements and progress; but, as
before said, it pitches its camp from four
years to four decades behind the repub-
lican army against which it pretends to
fight, but its uniforms are always
the cast of clothes Of the
advancing republicans. II it were
not for the old clothes of
the republicans, cast aside in
their march, it is hard to
say what would become of
the democratic hosts, struggling along
behind them lame, weary and foot sore,
with no provision Of their own for shell
tering their nakedness from the eye of
the observing world. The country is to
be congratulated that the worn-out gar
ments Of republioanism have kept the

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER, rs, 1887.
THE HEATHEN CHINEE,

Justice is come to judgment in San
Francisco at last. The United States
grand jury has found indictments against
eight customs inspectors and ex-inspec-
tors In San Francisco, for illegally aiding
and abetting the landing In the United
States of Chinese persons. The
specific charges are for issuing
forged certificates. The customs authOri-
ties have been upon the track of this
criminal issue OF certificates for some
years. Genuine certificates have been
stolen, and fraudulent ones issued. The
grand jury has frequently Investigated,
but never before have they been able TO
secure evidence wsrrsDting an indiCt-
ment. The accusation in these cases
dates back as far as 1885, and covers the
issuing Of hundreds of these forged GER
tifioates, upon which these Asiatic pests
have been brought into this country
contrary to law, and to the great detri-
ment OF the labor interests of
native and foreign born Amer
can citizens. The collector of
the port, says that of every ten certifi-
Gates stolen at least eight have found
their way to China, been sold there, and
upon that certificate some All Sin, has
been landed in this country. The army
of improperly called oelestisls, which is
swarming like the frogs and lice of
Egypt all over this country, is destined
to prove its greatest curse within the
next quarter Of century, unless this
illegal immigration is stopped. They
have nothing in common with US as
people. They psuperize labor, bring in
disgusting habits, open vicious
dens of infamy, and add the dark
damnatiOn of their own vice and i'm.
mOralities to the already Over-large
catalogue of our own. Let them in
crease in this country for twenty five
years as they have increased during the
last five and there will be open war de-
clared against them. Anti-Chinese cru
sades will be a necessity prompted by
all considerations Ofself-defence, and the
cruelties that follow will be justly
charged upon the present supineness
which permits their accursed multiple
cation. san Antonio is filling up with
them, and as they have no citizen rights
accorded them in the treaties, nor any
right under the laws to remain here,
they should be summarily eVicted from
this city. Self preservation is the only
law in such a case as this, and a China
man In San Antonio is as much out of
place as an ice cream parlOr in TOphet.
